Google Photos too, apparently, if for some reason you’re willing to give up your personal information to them.

Yeah, Apple does too. Used it to exclude my ex-wife when I met my new wife :)

It’s an Apple Photos feature. It can be enabled or disabled in Settings -> Apps -> Photos -> Featured Content.

It will pull together photos of a person or animal over a period of time, a set of photos from a particular date, a group from a place, or similar and make them into a slideshow.

Sometimes it comes up with good ones (I get quite a few of my daughter and my dogs) and sometimes they’re hilariously bad or random/contrived.

Can’t say they’ve ever really made me sad, but I may not be in the same stage of life as the OOP / not looking for internet joke points.

Interesting. Everywhere I’ve lived for the last 10+ years (3 cities and a rural acreage in Canada, village in Austria and visiting relatives in various towns in the UK) has had a municipal composting programme. I just assumed it was the norm now.

Hopefully you get one where you are soon!

I might be misunderstanding what you’re saying, but don’t we already do this?

So, 1/3 the production rate per tire compared to a car over 100km. Not to mention half the number of tires. I wonder how much of that is due to the weight difference alone.

It actually appears to be per bike per 100km. I find that quite surprising given it’s half the number of tyres, there’s substantially less initial volume per tyre than a car’s and, as you say, there’s a lot less weight on them.

Given their focus on MTBs, I wonder if it’s related to the type of terrain being ridden (higher incidence of gravel/sharp rocks than your average road) or different tyre compounds between the two vehicle types.

This is something I really love about my job. It’s a small company, and we don’t have any of these kinds of process overheads.

It’s accepted that people fuck up (and in most cases that’re relevant to me, I’m the people in question) but if I can reproduce the problem, I can often get the fix in the users’ hands the next day. Generally the positive effects of a quick turnaround and feeling like they matter outweigh the negatives of the problem being there in the first place.

Not to say I don’t have stuff in the “tech debt” bucket, but having the autonomy to just fix the low-hanging fruit makes for a satisfying work environment.

Years ago — late 90s — I used to travel to Vermont from the UK on business. Because of the time difference I’d often wake up at ~3:30 in the morning and since there was very little to do in a hotel room in Burlington, I’d put The Weather Channel on.

Quite often they’d report on “snow coming down from Canada”, or “frigid air coming down from Canada”, and I always thought it was weird how they seemed to be subtly blaming another country for weather phenomena.

Dunno why I thought of that.

Anyway, electric vans. Cool.

Canadians are buying fewer products made in the U.S. in an effort to brace for the impact of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs, which are set to cause prices to skyrocket across a range of products.

It has nothing to do with bracing for the tariffs. It’s because Fuck The USA.
